Lesson 3 : Convergent and Divergent Thinking, Logical Mindmap, Stereotypes
One he called "convergent" thinking, in which the person is good at bringing material from a variety of sources to bear on a problem, in such a way as to produce the "correct" answer. This kind of thinking is particularly appropriate in science, maths and technology.
Because of the need for consistency and reliability, this is really the only form of thinking which standardised intelligence tests, (and even national exams) can test
The other he termed "divergent" thinking. Here the student's skill is in broadly creative elaboration of ideas prompted by a stimulus, and is more suited to artistic pursuits and study in the humanities.
In order to get at this kind of thinking, he devised open-ended tests, such as the "Uses of Objects" test

So basically, in my opinions convergent comes after divergent thinking. Convergent thinking is when it has an accurate answer while Divergent thinking is brainstorming.
LOGICAL MIND MAP
Mind map is used to represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items linked to and arranged around a central key word or idea.mind map is a graphical way to represent ideas and concepts. We normally used it to help study, organization, problem solving, decision making, and writing. There alot of method on doing mind maps. It started out with stating the main topic and arranging it by group such as their objectives our problems.
EXAMPLES OF MIND MAPS
STEREOTYPES
Stereotypes are sometimes logical and can be true. Some people uses it to remind their kids to be a better person. Stereotypes even helps people to be aware over something. Like for example don't trust any gypsies.
